AIR Update – 20 March 2025

The AIR has introduced new warning messages for some influenza and RSV vaccines to improve the quality of data being reported to the Register. 

Immunisation providers will receive a warning message in software and when using the AIR site if they attempt to report the following vaccines to the AIR for individuals under the recommended age: 

The message will indicate that the vaccine has been administered under the minimum required age. If this message is received, immunisation providers will need to review the vaccine administered and either:

• ensure the correct vaccine has been selected; or
• follow the relevant state or territory processes to report a vaccine administration error.
